Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students are second graders from low-income households. I teach at a Title I school where the free and reduced-price lunch rate is 84%. Although many of my kiddos have challenging lives at home, they still come to school excited and ready to learn! I have worked very hard to prepare a classroom that is warm, inviting, and set up to facilitate learning. But we are missing a few items that would help the kiddos reach their academic and emotional goals.

My Project

We are only a month and a half into our school year, and my kiddos have already put in a ton of hard work! Over half of my second graders tested at a kindergarten reading level at the beginning of the year, so I need more supplies, like the magnetic letters, than I usually do for our grade level. These kiddos missed at least 90 in-person instructional days of school last year and at least 60 the year before. They are missing key writing skills and the different types of markers will liven up our writing space and make it a more fun place to write.

Our class needs more supplies to make it to the end of the year.

Our district requires masking to keep us all safe and in school as much as possible, but many kids come to school in masks that don't fit them. So I need some for our room when a kiddo comes in with an ill-fitting mask.
